Manchester Robotics Society
We are
ROBOSOC is a student-led robotics society based at the University of Manchester, which aims to encourage students of all levels to get involved in robotics. Since 2013, the Robotics Society offers a great opportunity to develop your practical skills outside of the course curriculum; you'll be able to build exciting projects with state-of-the-art technology in a relaxed environment.
Unlock Your Robotics Journey
Beginner to Advanced
Projects are available to those who need to learn the absolute basics, to those with extensive knowledge of the field.
Affordable robotics access
We enable use of university facilities, can buy components for members where feasible, and have never charged membership fees.
Meet like-minded people
We want to be a place where members can make friends and connections that will stay with them of the rest of their lives.
